A Symbiotic Bond: A Venomous Titan Reborn
Chapter Three

Champion City – Downtown
Garfield Mark Logan

"Alright. So explosion at building nearby. So um…How do I work these powers? What are these powers?" Garfield asked his new partner before he blinked and said "Also…What in the world do I call you? Do have a name?"

The voice let out a small chuckle and Garfield could feel amusement coming from the Symbiote before it replied "A name…I was never asked that before…I will have to think about that. In the meantime, our powers. When it comes to us Klyntar, we copy the powers of our original host. In this case, Peter Parker, also known as Spider-man, held the powers similar to a spider."

"Ah, so wall-crawling and webs?" Garfield asked.

"Ah Yes, I forgot of your previous powers as well. You are well versed in Spiders," The voice noted, pleased with the teen. "But there is more that goes into our powers. So on your own, you have super strength, super agility, and reflexes as well as enhanced durability, a healing factor."

"A healing factor? Badical," Garfield interrupted with a grin, the eyes of his mask arching up slightly.

"Yes quite," the voice said with another chuckle. "Your five senses also get an enhanced boost. Your wall-crawling abilities are also different when it comes to him compared to a regular spider. It is not just your feet that can stick to the walls. Your entire body has this effect. As for the webs, he didn't have this organically but I can supply the near-infinite webbing for you."

Garfield nodded and asked, "So you said my reflexes and agility are enhanced yes?"

"Yes. They are far superior to the most peak super-soldier in my original universe. Your reflexes are so precise that you can dodge a point-blank gunshot to your face. Not to mention because of this, you can keep your equilibrium on any surface or platform, no matter the size or density."

"Man…This is pretty cool," Garfield before he tilted his head and said, "And the agility aspect of it?"

"Thanks to these abilities, your tendons and connective tissues are at least twice as elastic as the average human being's. I heard it being compared to a contortionist, whatever that may be. But there is one more skill that he had and that is special ability known as the 'Spider-Sense'."

"Spider-Sense. What is that?" Garfield asked.

"Spider-sense...It acts as a signal to the user that not only warns you of any type of personal danger, it can unveil your enemies when under a disguise as well as trigger your reflexes instantaneously to avoid any harm. It also allows you to know where to place your web while swinging through the air to keep you safe as well as others but I can also do that part of it...Admittedly, despite copying it and having it, it's very complex and even I don't know the full extent of its abilities at this time…" The voice answered.

'Interesting…So if I was blind and wandering around the room, this spider-sense will act accordingly to keep me unharmed. I'll have to test this out,' Garfield stated before he asked "Well, is there anything else that I should know?"

"Yes. Those are the powers that have carried over to you due to me but I myself hold powers as well. Thanks to me, those powers given to you are enhanced further. I also can grant invisibility through camouflage along with shapeshifting, including being able to expand my size and forms spikes, mimicry once I have a host and I can store many things within my being without adding mass so the suit remains the same and as you know already, telepathy," The voice finished.

"Thanks for the information. That should make things easier to know once we get into the danger zone. Now that I know what I got…Let's rock it!" Garfield shouted before he placed his feet on the window in front of him and pushed off of it while letting go of the web and diving downwards in the air.

Garfield spun around and shot out a web to another building and swung downward, his legs going from trailing backward to pointed out in front of him with the swing. He could hear the shock of the people as he let go of the web and spun in the air before he shot out another web and swung higher into the air with a shout of "Yahoo!"

Sure, he had traversed the air many a time during his times as a bird or a pterodactyl, something felt different about zipping through the air on a web as a full-fledged human, not to mention the death-defying acrobatics his body has never been able to do at all was something he truly enjoyed.

After shooting another web against another building, Garfield swung high into the air and released the web, and did a full rotation in the air before he shot another web onto the head of a gargoyle and pulled himself to it sharply.

Once he got to the stature, Garfield twisted his body and used left index finger to connect with the gargoyle's head, balancing perfectly on the side of it before he pushed himself up into the air with a twist-flip of his body before he landed in a crouched position on top of the head.

His eyes narrowed as he sat in front of the Champion City bank, where he could see several men within the large hole inside the bank vault, all of them running around with large black bags while on the outside, he noticed three men were standing in wait, armed to the teeth.

"Oh boy, Robbers. Well, the perfect cannon fodder for my first outing. Don't you think?" Garfield asked, the eyes of his mask narrowing in mischief.

He could feel the amusement of the symbiote as it replied with "Of course. You must crawl before you can walk. Let us see what your "Crawl" is."

He then felt a burst of excitement from the symbiote before he leaped off the building and shot his web to the light fixture in front of the bank and pulled himself to it and when landed on the tips of his left foot before falling down into a crouched position on the van where he then asked, "Well, well, well, out for a late-night withdrawal, eh guys?" Garfield said

He heard their shouts of "What the hell is that?!" before he flipped off the of the van and kicked two of the goons in the face before he shot out a web-line to the feet of the third before tugging it sharply, sending the robber towards him where he quickly jumped over the robber, who crashed against the van hard.

Garfield landed on the ground and looked around.

The three were out like a light.

'Perfect...They are out cold...How did I do?' Garfield asked as he webbed the three robbers to the ground.

"You did perfectly. I'm impressed that you are acclimating to your abilities quickly," the voice said.

'Well, considering that I used to morph into a spider a lot, I know how the precision of my webbing and swinging and things like that. So it's no biggie,' Garfield replied cheekily before he turned his head and with a shot of his web, Garfield zipped up to the man-made entrance of the bank and crawled on the ceiling before he twisted his body so he looked down at the busy men, his large almond-shaped eyes seemingly glowing in the dark.

The only thing that lit up the dark inside of the bank was the flashlights the men held in the streetlight outside.

So now that he was inside, what was the best way to handle this? He could either jump down, kick-ass and swing away, or...he could be sneakier...'You said you can do camouflage, right?' Garfield asked, remembering the list the symbiote made during the low down.

"Of Course...You are planning something devious," The voice stated in amusement before it said "Very well. Let's see what you have in mind for these thieves."

Garfield felt a subtle change as the suit began to change color until it was the same sandpaper brown color that the wall he was on was, even the eyes of the mask changed to the same color style of the wall.

'How interesting...I've never taken this route in busting criminals before. We would always just rush in. Beat the stuffing out of them and leave,' Garfield told the symbiote as he eyed one of the criminals, who was greedily rubbing his hands together in front of several gold bars.

"My former host would do this from time to time but he was the same way. I suppose teenagers are all alike. Reckless and quick to action..." the voice responded. Garfield felt both amusement and resentment from the symbiote at the mention of the former host.

This guy really did a number on it.

Hopefully one day, that bitterness would pass but not anytime soon it seemed.

But that was for later because right now, he had his eye on one of the thieves that were slobbering over the gold bars before him. One of the robbers looked over and said "Stop slobbering over the gold and bag it up! That bitch Rocket could show up at any minute!"

"I can't help it," The other robber whined. "It's so beautiful! I could buy a shit-ton of things with these bad boys!"

The other robber rolled his eyes and went to bag up more cash.

'Time to pull a Robin...' Garfield thought as he quietly slide down from the ceiling on a web and stopped, his head right next to the robbers.

With a hidden smirk, Garfield whispered into the ear of the robber "As the spider to the fly in a poem, Welcome to my parlor."

The robber turned around only for Garfield to spit web against his mouth before grabbing him and zipping up back up onto the ceiling.

The man looked utterly terrified as Garfield held him to the wall and webbed him against it before he lightly patted the man on the cheek and said "Calm down ya big baby. You're gonna be fine...Well...As fine as someone going to jail will be anyway. Now stay put and keep quiet."

Garfield then crawled down the ceiling as he stalked the second robber, who was more in a rush than the previous one the teen had already captured. Garfield nodded to himself and shot a web-line down the man's feet and pulled up sharply, causing the man to fall to the ground and up in the air, and before the man could even scream, web collided against the man's mouth, keeping him silent.

"Hush little robber, don't say a word," Garfield said as he winked, causing the mask to wink as well before he turned and crawled up the wall to his next target. One by one, Garfield silently dealt with each robber that he stalked until there was just one left and from what Garfield saw, this guy had to be the leader.

And this guy was huge.

The Caucasian man was standing at a whopping 7'5ft tall with muscle on top of muscles that made themselves visible through the thick dark slate gray colored thick polymer mat suit, a thick chocolate brown beard along with a red visor that was attached to a helmet that rested on his head, which held a small horn with a larger horn above it.

'Wow, this guy looks like a Rhino...Explains how they got into this place though...' Garfield noted with annoyance. 'I don't think simple webbing is gonna take this down. Any suggestions?'

"Other than ripping him out of his suit?" The voice asked.

'I don't know if that will kill him though and I don't want that...Are you able to thicken the web to hold him down by chance?' Garfield asked.

The suit seemed to vibrate, which made Garfield think that the suit was "humming" in thought before the voice responded with "Yes. I can do that."

'Then let's do that. Let's pound him into submission then hogtie him,' Garfield said before he cracked his neck and said "Let's get dangerous," before he leaped off from the ceiling and delivered a flying dropkick to the back of the large man's head, sending the robber soaring forward and crashing into several desks.

Garfield landed in a crouch and propped his arms up on top of his elbows and said "'Here I thought Game of Thrones was only a TV show and yet here I am, kicking Ser Gregor Clegane in the back of the head! Man, I am a huge fan of your work. How Cersei? She still a massive bitch?"

The man rose up off the ground and turned around and shouted "How dare you think you can strike the Mighty Rhino?!"

Garfield tilted his head, his eyes arching to show that he was grinning as he replied "Well, I had to get your attention somehow silly. Who was I gonna ask? Your friends are a bit tied up so they couldn't do it and you weren't looking my way. Had to do something."

Rhino let out a roar and charged towards Garfield, but the teen launched himself over the charging man and kicked him in the back of the head again, sending the man crashing into the ground, all while Garfield landed on the stool in a crouch.

"Charge and a miss!" Garfield said before he said, "Man, at this rate, maybe I should see if I can get this suit in bright red to make this easier for you."

Just then, Garfield's suit changed into a bright red, which made Garfield's eyes widen in surprise. "Holy crap, my suit is bright red!" Garfield exclaimed before he got a tingle in the back of his head and without trying, he leaped up and stuck to the ceiling, avoiding another charge from Rhino.

'You made the suit change colors!' Garfield shouted as shot out two strands of web and pulled himself to the other side of the room to avoid a large mahogany desk that was thrown at him by Rhino then swung out of the large man-made hole and landed on the roof of the van that was still parked out there.

"You wanted to give him a better challenge," the voice responded as Garfield felt amusement coming from the suit as Rhino came dashing out of the large hole towards him at top speed.

'Very true but it was just a taunt!' Garfield replied as he shot another web back to the building and managed to pull himself off the van before he remembered that there was another robber attached to the van and quickly shot his web down and yanked on it hard, managing to remove the robber before Rhino struck the van, causing it to explode.

Garfield caught the robber and strung him to the building as he said "Stick around for a while. I got your boss to catch." with a shot of web to the building across from the bank, Garfield got onto his feet and ran to the left to gain some momentum before he leaped off the wall and swung in a wide arc.

He saw the Rhino skid to a stop right where he was and just as Rhino stopped, Garfield's feet slammed into Rhino's face, sending the man crashing to the ground as Garfield landed on the ground in a crouch where he then slowly stood up.

"I was expecting more of a challenge but this was a fair length of time," Garfield noted before he aimed his hands at the downed robber and said "Thick webbing time!"

Thick webbing shot out and Garfield put layers upon layers on Rhino's downed body until he was completely covered from neck to toe all while Garfield thought 'So...How did I do?'

"It was a little rough at the start but was smooth sailing afterward. You did well in the end, my host..." the voice replied.

Garfield felt a wave of pride around him, which made him smile before he replied 'Thanks...Well, you were awesome too! This partnership is gonna be a blast...' Just then, the sounds of sirens reached his ear, which made him turn his head and look to the distance.

He could see the glow of the red and blue lights and while he would have loved to stick around, he didn't want the world to know about him just yet. "Well, time to beat it. It was fun!" Garfield exclaimed before he ran to the side and shot out a web before swinging away into the night sky.

But had he stuck around, he would have seen someone watching in the shadows, a smile on their face.

Captain Blues: And that is the end to that chapter! What did you guys think of the first night of Garfield's new power? The next chapter will be the training part of it, as well as a new villain to face so until then.
